I mean I guess we're covered.. we I better.. I guess.
3 transfers down on last season, one loan up and Riley McGree carried onto this summer's activity.
a hard transfer window? no harder than Neil Warnock had it last summer.. missing player? we had the same an more last season. not sure how long we had the likes of Dijksteel, Fry, Hall & Bola missing but it was substantial. Warnock was criticised for loaning out Djed Spence but then again that resulted in Isaiah Jones and us pocketing a cool £12.5m!
Have we been backed more than we were last season? I don't think we have, I have illustrated us being 3 or 4 transfer moves down they are covered on the whole.. just less work for us to do compared to last. Don't let this hardest transfer window we've ever known malarkey!
of the three transfer moves not taken this summer compared to last, although I rate Boyd-Munce much higher than JLS I don't think Chris Wilder is convinced.
DM James Lea Siliki - Caolan Boyd-Munce
AM Onel Hernandez - Ryan Giles
ST Andraz Sporar - Marcus Forss
All out for Ross Barkley on a free to show at least some intent. We've dropped the ball.. and perhaps intentionally so in order to have the cash to do it.
Leave it until January to bring in a striker and an attacking midfielder. I'm guessing our points tally will determine our level of investment.
We've got one more loan spot available and potentially a premier league sized carrot come January.
Callum O'Hare & Viktor Gyokeres in January anyone?
